  • Metabo tool bag
  • Klein screwdriver set
  • Draper Expert 14 piece combi spanner set
  • Draper Expert 41 piece 1/2" socket set

This year was a Creality CR-X (3D printer), and Apple Watch Series 5. I highly doubt I'm getting both, and I am perfectly fine with that.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

If you want to fit you will. Meaning if the car is good enough most will sacrifice a bit of comfort for the experience.

I dont know, most of those kinds of cars dont fit anyone well into the 6' club, nor 6'4" or taller, like 6'5" or 6'6"

Most of the Basketball players have to get custom seats put in, or fabricate stock and cut em down.

I don't ask, I buy. When someone asks, I don't buy what they ask for.

I thought that's why a lot of them drove SUVs :|

I dont really ask for anything. Outside of making sure my kids have a great day xmas means nothing to me tbh.

 

I know my wife is going to get me a new bowl because she hates mine.

My oldest has been working on a painting for me for like 3 months now. itll be framed and put in the restaurant.

My youngest is going to get me a new hat and cologne.

I tried to gift myself a Lexus ES300 but my credit wasn't good enough for that.

So i just got a new headphone, which is cool, but not as cool as a Lexus.

I threw a few random things on my amazon wishlist for family to check out... a few t-shirts, some blurays, some proper moccasin slipper/shoes... Anything else will be a surprise... I'm really hard to buy for as I'm very picky about what I wear and normally my family doesn't have a great track record on buying me stuff I actually want/need, so I get trivial stuff I have no need or desire to own... But I will act pleased all the same.

 

This isn't me being ungrateful, it's actually my autistic side that has a need to rationalise everything logically... if I don't actually have a need for something, it's of no real importance to me... and all of the things I do want are too expensive to ask for. We've been telling people to spend less for years.

 

For the last 12yrs xmas hasn't really been any fun... not since my brother passed in Oct and then my partner in April the following year... followed by a friend 9 months later... and in an 8yr period I lost 18 people in my life. Things like birthdays, xmas and so forth no longer hold any joy for me.

 

That said, I am looking forward to this year because we are all going away for a week to a converted barn in North Wales, wood burner in the lounge and hot tub in the garden, just my mum, sister, brother in law and me out in the countryside... free from the hassle of city life. I shall chill, read a book by the fire, drink something alcoholic in the hot tub and just relish being in the peace and quiet... Oh how I wish I could move to the country side for good.

 

I actually enjoy buying more than I do receiving these days... I've gone a little nuts on prezzies for my mum, sis and bil... After 8yrs of struggling to get by, my income is back to where it was 10yrs ago... I bring home twice what I need to live on, so 50% of what's left gets put into savings and I can spend the rest on crap if I want... anything left over at the end of the month also gets thrown into my savings. This year I've done work on the house to the tune of around 2500, bought a new car (well, used, new to me), built a new gaming rig and upgraded other stuff throughout the year. New 4K HDR TV, new 2019 nVidia shield TV Pro and still have put aside about 3k into my savings.

 

So all I really need is quality time with the people I care about...

 

Oh and a Toblerone... if I don't get a big Toblerone (or a big box of little ones)... I shall be pissed.  :)  It's my only real tradition that goes back to when I was a kid and the one year I didn't get one (because my folks thought we were too old)... I was so disappointed that they never forgot again.  :)

System 1: Gigabyte Aorus B450 Pro, Ryzen 5 2600X, 32GB Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz, Sapphire 5700XT, 250GB NVME WD Black, 2x Crucial MX5001TB, 2x Seagate 3TB, H115i AIO, Sharkoon BW9000 case with corsair ML fans, EVGA G2 Gold 650W Modular PSU, liteon bluray/dvd/rw.. NO RGB aside from MB and AIO pump. Triple 27" Monitor setup (1x 144hz, 2x 75hz, all freesync/freesync 2)

System 2: Asus M5 MB, AMD FX8350, 16GB DDR3, Sapphire RX580, 30TB of storage, 250GB SSD, Silverstone HTPC chassis, Corsair 550W Modular PSU, Noctua cooler, liteon bluray/dvd/rw, 4K HDR display (Samsung TV)

Money. Wallet is hammered.

 

Socks wouldn't be too bad either.

I don't know what to ask for; I'm quite content with everything I have & anything I need, I can kinda just buy at a cheaper price they can.

I have a car; I have a job; I upgraded my PC earlier this year; I got new clothes earlier this year; I just bought a new paintball gun & airsoft gun. I'm basically set for all my hobbies & my professional life is going well. I've kinda "reached inner peace" but like people want to get me stuff.

 

I don't like nonsense like plaques/shirts with sayings on them as they're a waste of money imo. I feel weird about having these first world problems. I hope I don't come off as "flexing."

Walmart pack of 15 for $9.99, grab a few bags, open one, store the rest.

Costco has decent socks too, Kodiaks are now up to size 12 though, no good for size 13 kicks.
